The UMP will guide future management of these state lands over the next decade. The proposed plan calls for major road improvements to provide for increased access to Mt. Hunger State Forest and mapping of 13 miles of mountain bike trails, as well as refurbishing two shallow ponds that serve as popular fishing spots on A. J. Woodford State Forest. DEC will accept public input on the draft UMP at an open house on April 11, 2017 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., at the following location:

Town of Bridgewater Public Meeting Room
Town of Bridgewater Municipal Building
